Bombardier argued Boeing's large 737 order book shows there has been no adverse impact from its C Series jet. The C Series would not even exist at this point but for those subsidies," Boeing said in a statement emailed during Bombardier's panel remarks. If Bombardier wins, Chicago-based Boeing says its smallest 737 model could face unfair competition from the C Series for decades. Canadian Ambassador to the United States David MacNaughton went to bat on Bombardier's behalf at a trade hearing in Washington on Monday. Bombardier also argues that Boeing and Airbus do not compete with the C Series because their planes are larger and have more range.
